My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. I refer the minister to the Prime Minister's pre-election promise that he would be a Prime Minister for Aboriginal affairs. I also refer to the Prime Minister's pre-election promise that:

Why has the Prime Minister breached faith with Australians by cutting more than half a billion dollars from Indigenous affairs programs?
